On the 29th or the 30th of January (No one remembers for sure), I had a roller walker the kind with the seat, collapse with me in it. I almost died as I was bleeding in my brain. I don't remember much for weeks after that, not the ambulance ride to our local hospital or the helicopter ride to another hospital about 60 miles away. I lost over several weeks of awareness of time though I answered questions and gave instructions, that I don't remember LOL. I am in a nursing rehab center recovering. The hardest thing now is balance and getting through some scheduled surgeries unrelated to this fall. I have had two brushes with death in the last few months and am wary right now. I am still unsteady with my feet, my balance. Before I couldn't walk distances but was okay walking in my apartment and such. I was sitting on the seat of the walker making homemade valentines when this happened.

Any prayers for a full recovery would be appreciated. My next surgery is on the 29th, Thanks

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
